914 Club AX competition, are we going to do it? Options

[Joe Ricard]

I remember sometime in the fall there was discussion about having a competition amongst us 914 clubbers to keep track of our times and have somekind of unofficial award. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Well maybe not anything physical just bragging rights
I searched 13 pages and couldn't find it!!!!

So again what do we want to keep track of
-PAX placement? (crap I run SM-2)
-Distance in seconds behind TTOD
-Bonus points for TTOD
-Points for top finisher in class

The more you run the more points you get. That way I have a shot.

i know brad was talking with ggr about the all914 AX -- if this happens, i assume that it won't be on it's original date (sometime in march)

however, i don't see why the fantasy 914cup AX series can't happen. maybe not with sponsors and trophies and shit, but at least we could set up a trial run for '05.

equalizing the cars is the easier part -- adjusting times based on different data ranges would be the hardest. my thought was to run 3 classes ala WCC 04 (to keep things simple) and base a competitor's times as ratio to the TTOD.

e.g., if the TTOD is 40 seconds, and my best time is 50 sec, than my score for that AX is 80 out of 100 possible points. (40/50 = .8 x 100 =80). if i get TTOD, i get a full 100 points. we take, e.g. the best out of 6 or 8 events to determine class winners.

this disadvantages larger, more competitive regions. which may be okay -- OR we could compensate by throwing in a little coefficient based on how many cars run that day. but, then again, there are a milllion little coefficients that one could throw in to statistically even things out. for sake of elegance, i think this should be avoided.

nothing short of an all 914club AX will determine a true 'pecking order' -- a fantasy cup would necessarily be a competition primarily with oneself, and with ones particular AX group.

i'd be happy to help make the rules, classes, and run the spreadsheet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
